When more than eighty people walked out from behind Ling Jie, the Tier 1 Professionals' faces broke into smiles.

Eighty-plus Tier 2 Professionals were far beyond what the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group could muster, and several of them specialized in defense.

If they could be assigned under a defensive professional, they would have at least a sixty percent chance of survival.

When all the Professionals had left the room, the Tier 1 Professionals' smiles vanished, replaced by expressions of unbelievable shock.

Where did Blue Sky Group get so many advancement materials?

Was Blue Sky Group really a newly formed organization?

Ling Jie looked at everyone's incredulous expressions, smiled slightly, and asked, "Does everyone have the confidence to complete the mission?"

After a brief silence, everyone excitedly shouted, "We have confidence!"

"Victory is assured!"

At this moment, behind Ling Jie, those Professionals who had signed the gambling agreement with her out of momentary greed wore bitter smiles.

If they had restrained their greed, they wouldn't have to face unknown risks today.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, those who had joined Blue Sky Group out of greed but hadn't received advancement materials still wore expressions of despair.

They lost the bet, didn't get the advancement materials, and still had to help complete the mission. It was truly a situation where they couldn't even force a smile.

Gambling is truly harmful!

Ling Jie ignored those Professionals who hadn't advanced and shouted, "Let's go!"

The Tier 1 Professionals quickly cleared a path, and Ling Jie led everyone swiftly towards the Butcher Academy.

At this moment, outside the Butcher Academy, many Professionals with gloomy faces were entering the academy and heading towards the teleportation area.

In a room near the academy gate, Lu Jing sat by the window, watching the Professionals entering the academy with a smile on her face.

Beside Lu Jing, the Tier 2 Professionals from various groups looked dejected as they chatted while watching the people entering the academy.

"The Soul Manipulator is truly arrogant; he won't even meet us."

"He wants Tiger-man souls. Even if we meet, it's useless. Speaking of which, we still have to thank Instructor Lu. If it weren't for her help, we probably would have had to go to the Tiger-man plane to carry out dangerous missions."

"Yes, we really must thank Instructor Lu Jing."

Lu Jing waved her hand without turning her head and said, "No need to thank me. Your task now is to keep a close watch on the Soul Manipulator and report his movements to me at any time."

One person next to her smiled and said, "Don't worry, Instructor. The Soul Manipulator has been near Teleportation Array Number One, looking for powerful Professionals to collect Tiger-man souls. He won't go anywhere else."

Lu Jing turned her head and sternly instructed:

"Ling Jie came once yesterday. I drove her away and didn't let her see the Soul Manipulator. We can't let Ling Jie see the Soul Manipulator today either.

If Ling Jie manages to see the Soul Manipulator because of you, and gets a life-saving item from him, see how I deal with you!"

Seeing Lu Jing's serious expression, everyone quickly composed themselves, put away their smiles, and solemnly guaranteed:

"Don't worry, Instructor. We will definitely keep a close watch on the Soul Manipulator and not let him meet Ling Jie."

Lu Jing nodded, looked out the window again, then raised her eyebrows, quickly walked out, and shouted without turning back, "Ling Jie is here. Go and keep an eye on the Soul Manipulator yourselves."

Everyone walked out of the room and headed towards Teleportation Array Number One.

Lu Jing walked out of the room and saw Ling Jie walking near the academy fence, with several Tier 2 Professionals behind her.

Lu Jing knew that Ling Jie had recruited many Professionals who were about to break through a few days ago.

However, Lu Jing didn't care too much. Blue Sky Group hadn't been established for long. Even if they exhausted all their efforts, how many Tier 2 Professionals could they cultivate?

It was just a struggle before death. As long as they couldn't contact the Soul Manipulator, nothing they did would matter.

Lu Jing approached Ling Jie with a smile, but the smile on Lu Jing's face quickly disappeared.

Damn it, how did Blue Sky Group cultivate more than twenty Tier 2 Professionals?

This Blue Sky Group is truly a scourge. If I had targeted them any later, they might have really developed.

Fortunately, I planned ahead!

Thinking this, Lu Jing continued walking towards Ling Jie, but Lu Jing's speed soon slowed down, her eyes fixed on Ling Jie's back.

Why are there more Tier 2 Professionals?

After a moment, Lu Jing saw more than a hundred Tier 2 Professionals, her face turned pale, her body completely frozen in place, muttering, "How is this possible? Where did they get so many advancement resources?"

Ling Jie had seen Lu Jing long ago. Seeing Lu Jing's shocked expression, Ling Jie felt proud and walked directly to Lu Jing, respectfully greeting, "Hello, Instructor."

Lu Jing's eyes twitched, and a bunch of swear words popped into her head. She couldn't help but blurt out:

"Good for you... good for you... good for you, Ling Jie. You've really made something of yourself. Come with me. I'll take you to the teleportation array. Don't make any noise on the way, and don't disturb the students in class."

Lu Jing tried hard to hold back the swear words in her mouth, her expression very ugly.

Ling Jie smiled and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hehe, thank you, Instructor. You still know how to think of the students. You're so kind, so good, we should all learn from you."

Lu Jing's mouth twitched, she clenched the communication token in her hand, took a deep breath to calm her emotions, turned around and walked away, "Follow me."

Ling Jie quickly followed Lu Jing, walking beside her, and smiled, "Your legs are so agile, just like when you drove me away yesterday.

You can't drive me away today. You must take me to see the Soul Manipulator. The people in our Blue Sky Group all want to work for the Soul Manipulator!"

When the people behind her heard this, their eyes widened instantly, staring intently at Lu Jing's back.

Everyone knew that the Soul Manipulator was rich. If Ling Jie hadn't been driven away yesterday, she would definitely have been able to talk to the Soul Manipulator because of her rare Fleshly Bodhisattva profession.

At that time, she could have accepted some tasks and received a huge deposit, perhaps even cultivating another ten or twenty Tier 2 Professionals.

Having ten or twenty more Tier 2 Professionals would greatly increase the survival rate of Blue Sky Group members.

But such a good opportunity was ruined by Lu Jing!

Those who had been scammed by Lu Jing hated her even more.

Those who hadn't been scammed by Lu Jing also felt a hint of hatred towards her at this moment.

Feeling the needle-like gazes behind her, Lu Jing tightly gripped the communication token, walking forward without saying a word.

Lu Jing didn't speak, but Ling Jie kept talking:

"The Soul Manipulator shouldn't have left yet, right? You must take us to see the Soul Manipulator. Don't deliberately prevent us from seeing the Soul Manipulator!"

Hearing this, Lu Jing gripped the communication token in her hand even tighter.

Over the course of the journey, Ling Jie chattered non-stop, while Lu Jing didn't say a word, simply marching forward.

After a while, Lu Jing led everyone to the outside of a room with the number 'Nine' written on it.
